The inversion problem of angle dependent chord integrals is theoretically studied and a rotating type optical probe is developed for its application. The proposed solution is computationally efficient and robust to measurement additive noise. The probe system constructed is tested in an inductively coupled plasma source by measuring a spectral line intensity of argon plasma.
